Renewal // Shaping the Final Chapter – Unfinished Business
February 1 | 12:00 PM - 1:30 PM MST
We all hope to be remembered well and to reach the end of our lives with a sense that we have done all we wished to do. But what about the things left incomplete? How can we prepare ourselves and our loved ones for the unfinished pieces left when we are gone? Iliff alum Rev. Dr. Lorraine Leist will share findings from her doctoral research regarding how people considering their mortality cope with and make meaning out of unfinished life tasks when preparing for a good death. She will lead a brief exercise enabling attendees to reflect on limitations to completing life and facilitate discussion about addressing unfinished business. She will also explore the concept of a ‘good death’ and encourage participants to consider diverse perspectives about the end of life.
